What if writing a book could triple your rates and position you as the top expert in your field?
Today’s case study explores how a self-published book became the ultimate lead generator for Abi Prendergast’s service-based business. Abi is the creator of Day #1 Evergreen, the evergreen funnel system that has helped clients generate up to $1.8 million annually — without the stress of live launches.
But it wasn’t her system that put her on the map—it was the book she wrote about it.
In 2023, Abi turned her proven framework into a book designed to position her as the go-to expert in evergreen strategies. With a small email list of just 800 subscribers, her book gained traction almost entirely through Amazon and word of mouth recommendations.
The result? Dream clients started reaching out to hire her and ask her to speak in rooms she never imagined being in, Abi’s evergreen funnel service tripled in price to $50K while staying in demand, and she began generating $1-2K per month in passive course sales—all without ads or a large audience.
If you play in the high ticket space, discover how a self-published book can amplify your authority and sell out your services.

Today’s case study dives into how subscription box queen Sarah Williams achieved her highest-ever conversion rate during the annual launch of her subscription box coaching membership, Launch Your Box.
Sarah’s $15 Subscription Box Week combines interactive exercises, live Q&A sessions, and daily interviews with successful members to give participants a hands-on preview of her program. And since the pre-launch experience has a cost of admission, Sarah is literally getting paid to sell to her people.
This year, she fine-tuned her approach with new strategies like staggered expiring bonuses, the first-ever ticket price increase, and a deeper, more personal connection with her audience.
The result? A staggering 43% conversion rate from Subscription Box Week attendees to members—her best launch yet, even as many online programs face declining enrollments. Learn how Sarah used data-driven decisions to boost urgency, engagement, and trust, inspiring nearly half of her participants to swipe their cards again by the end of their week together.

Today’s case study centers on a highly requested, sparsely covered topic on our podcast: adding sponsored brand deals as a revenue stream to your business.
In our conversation with Lisette Calveiro, CEO of Influence with Impact, we specifically lean into the pricing and negotiation strategies that generated her $130,000 from brand partnerships this year alone — accounting for 20% of her 2024 revenue.
Lisette breaks down all the overlooked pricing factors beyond views and follower counts that net her higher rates and give her leverage in negotiations with brands, as well as reveals transparent insights on creator earnings and recent brand deals.

Today’s case study is the business poster child of making lemonade out of lemons, starring the husband/wife duo Michelle Luchese and John Ruggiero who turned a bad wedding ring buying experience into founding Manly Bands, the #1 digital marketplace for men’s wedding jewelry and a multi-million dollar business.
Helping to catapult their brand to #1 are lucrative licensing deals with household brands like Jack Daniels, Jeep, and Fender. In this conversation, we specifically unpack their partnership with the Tolkien Estate —a rare deal that positioned Manly Bands as one of only two brands with official Lord of the Rings licensing rights.
Since the launch of their epic Lord of The Rings Collection in 2022, it’s become one of Manly Bands’ top-selling collections, adding over 7,000 new customers and a $1M lift in revenue from 2022 to 2023, with projections to exceed that increase in 2024. From crafting standout pitches to conducting thorough market research and negotiating high-profile licensing deals, follow the data-driven decisions driving Michelle and John’s impressive growth with Manly Bands.

We’ve got an online marketing icon behind the mic today!
Jasmine Star is a world-class speaker, podcast host, and the founder of Social Curator, a SaaS company that works like a social media marketing agency in your pocket. In today’s case study, we uncover exactly how Jasmine fundraised over $555,000 from her community in just 1 hour to propel the growth of Social Curator.
Instead of looking to banks, VCs, or angel investors, Jasmine turned to her community of already invested users for a bootstrapped cash injection.
We examine the urgency plays she used to exceed her goal amount in under an hour, including the logistics of her best conversion secret: recording hundreds of personalized videos for individuals on her waitlist.

Reducing risk is a huge lever scaling startups can use to their advantage.
This was a big theme in my conversation with Match.com co-founder, and current CEO of BabyQuip, Fran Maier.
BabyQuip is the world’s largest baby gear rental marketplace, empowering thousands of independent contractors around the country to build successful side hustles, while helping families travel more easily. In today’s case study, Fran details how they were able to grow their network of these independent contractors (AKA Quality Providers) by 60% in one year by alleviating as much risk as possible for their providers.
From streamlined tech infrastructure, to added insurance coverage, to offering trainings and negotiating discounts with partners on their behalf, Fran has made it a no brainer for motivated mothers to partner with BabyQuip in this gig economy business model.
Keep listening to get creative ideas on how to prioritize lowering risk in your own business to drive growth!

She helps business owners unlock their cosmic blueprint through their personal and business' birth chart (yes businesses can have birth charts too). Curious?

We’ve had a few guests on the show who have sold their businesses, but this case study is the first time we’ve explored what it looks like to buy your business back post-exit.
After building BestSelf Co. to $45 million in sales, Cathryn Lavery sold her company to private equity in 2022 for 7 figures. She remained involved in the company as a brand ambassador, but watched as they made big changes that did little to grow the business.
Then last year, she was given the once in a lifetime opportunity to buy the business back for pennies on the dollar - a six figure sum - when the private equity firm decided to close down. Now with a second chance to rebuild more sustainably, Cathryn is applying what she learned from her first go-around and taking notes on what the private equity firm did well and where they fell short to fix the mistakes she’s inherited.
Was it worth it? Here’s the full scoop.

Did you know there's a link between flossing habits and cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia?
Learning this from Brynn Snyder, Co-founder and CEO of Slate Flosser, literally had me reaching for a floss post-interview.
Today’s case study is a real-time example of how prioritizing problem education over product education can drive action (and sales) much faster.
Through a 3 pronged, education-first marketing approach of trade shows, organic content, and influencer campaigns with dental professionals, Slate Flosser’s sales have increased by 20%, going from $10K months to experiencing $10K sales days.
Here’s Brynn’s take on how problem awareness changes user behavior and drives purchasing power.

Today’s case study is a lesson in using customer feedback to evolve your brand. Despite uniquely positioning themselves as frameless prints for 15 years, Fracture recently made a surprising move.
When Meredith English, who led teams at well-known consumer brands like Crocs and Daily Harvest, became the new CEO of Fracture, she recognized the customer demand for a framed option of their signature frameless glass photo prints, and took a calculated risk to roll out this product add-on.
Introducing this add-on to their checkout resulted in a 20% increase in their average order value, improved their customer acquisition costs, and finally converted fence-sitters who had been sitting for ages on their email list into paying customers.
Here’s exactly how Fracture made this decision and launched this add-on, and when it's smart to adapt your business to grow alongside your customers’ evolving preferences.

Imagine if 4-day work weeks didn’t only occur when a holiday weekend rolls around. Beyond more free time, do shorter work weeks also create financial gain?
Today’s case study explores that question with Erin Diehl, founder of B2B professional development company, Improve It and best-selling author of “I see You! A Leader’s Guide to Energize Your Team Through Radical Empathy.”
After a life altering concussion last year, Erin knew she needed to prioritize her physical and mental health, which prompted her to research the logistics of working only 4 days per week. In October 2023, her company piloted this new structure for all internal staff for 90 days, creating benchmarks to help them determine if this trial had been a success.
Now nearly a year later, they’re still going strong with 4 day work weeks and have hit their end of quarter revenue goals for three straight quarters, seeing as large as a 77% growth in a single quarter.
Here’s the process Erin and her team used to successfully implement this.
